Kaella Corvus Share Posted January 2, 2021 The next morning Kae was up early to make it to the shop when Richie told her his opening manager usually arrived. Since the shop itself didn't open until nine, it wasn't too bad. She still had her reservations about the whole thing, mostly because there was no avoiding one another during the days. But Richie had indicated he could pay under the table for extra hours beyond the legal limit for minors. And while she was sure he wasn't paying her as much as his previous receptionist, it was more than minimum wage so she figured she could roll with it. When she got there she found the back door still locked and pounded her fist on the door to announce herself. "This is weird," she muttered to herself as she looked around the back alley. @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 Richie hadn't really explained that Chuck was a girl and so as the woman walked up behind her with a smile. "Lookin' for someone?" Charlotte asked the younger girl curiously. @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Kae turned toward the voice, "Sort of," she answered as she saw the woman, "I'm supposed to be starting a job here today." @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Oh. Really? Who are you supposed to be meeting?" she asked while she sipped her drink. @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Someone called Chuck." @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Then I guess you're supposed to be meeting me," she said keying in the code before she unlocked the door. "You must be Kaella then." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well this hadn't been what she'd expected. Kae paused a second longer than she probably should have before nodding, "Yeah." @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 Charlotte smiled. "He didn't tell you I was a girl did he?" she asked the younger girl locking the back door before heading further inside. She was wearing a large jacket that was covering a bulging belly beneath it. @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "He doesn't really tell me anything," Kae answered as she followed the woman inside. @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "I think that's just him normally. He's a pretty shut off guy. Kind of like my husband." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "What did he tell you about all this?" She asked curiously. This Chuck woman looked pretty harmless in Kae's observation. That was only reinforced when Chuck shrugged off her jacket to reveal a pregnant belly. How was someone like her involved with this place? @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 Charlotte smiled to her. "Well of everyone I think he talks to me the most. Mostly because I pester him," she said to the girl. "So I know he's trying to help you straighten out your life and keep you off the streets. About the guy that drugged you that I'm pretty sure he still wants to leave in the dump outside the city and that your manager may be in the hospital." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Oh," she looked down immediately, cheeks flushing with shame, "right." @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 Charlotte smiled to her. "Don't worry about it. The Redford boys look out for the women in their lives. They get that from their dad." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "So what am I supposed to be doing?" she asked, trying to move off the subject. @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 “Should be pretty easy,” she said indicating toward the main room where customers came in before she started her way over to it. “Primarily you’ll be in here.” @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Okay," she nodded as she followed the woman into the front of the store. @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 Charlotte indicated to the spot behind the desk. It was tall but there was stool behind it. "The boys normally do their own transactions and if they don't then poke me and I'll show you how to do them. You'll answer the phone when it rings. Redford Auto how can I help you? If they need to schedule and appointment," she began to show her the scheduling system. "When people come in you mark them as here for their appointment. Any technical things you can ask one of the mechanics to answer for you. Okay?" @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Sounds easy enough," she nodded. @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "There are the vending machines in here but if you come here," Charlotte indicated back into the shop and to a room next to Richie's office. "This is the break room and," she went to the fridge, "Richie's mom loves to cook and she sends over food all the time," she indicated to the tupperware in there. "She sends enough for an army. So do not hesitate to take some. Its how I eat lunch every day." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well that's weird, Kae thought. Even working at that stupid burger joint she'd still had to pay for meals, with a discount. But she nodded, "Alright." @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "I guess that leads into Violet. If a tall blonde woman that looks rather important looking comes in and doesn't even look at you. Don't worry about it, its probably his mom." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Anything else I should know?" @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Marcianus Share Posted January 2, 2021 "I guess maybe about his dad? He's a large man with a scruffy beard. He looks a lot a gruff older version of Richie. He doesn't say much but he's intimidating looking." @Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaella Corvus Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Are they in a lot?" @Morrigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
